Howcome bodybuilders today don't do these kinds of poses anymore? This has been my all-time favorite. Did Arnold invent this pose?

You should see video of frank zane posing, he seriously makes it an art.
Seems to me that back then they portrayed bodybuilding as a work art, like the Greek Gods. Now they see it as muscle, muscle, and more veiny muscle.
I agree. It was an art back then, now it is a freak show. They actually had an art show that was only bodybuilders on rotating platforms. I think it was in pumping iron but it might have been in raw iron (the making of pumping iron.)
It was Pumping Iron 25th Anniversary with extra footage.
hmm, i got the 25th, and i didnt see a bodybuilding 'art' show in the bonus stuff
in the 25th , they were standing up on boxes and rotating round when they were posing, which i think made it look like an art form.Quote:

The music sounds like porn music lol!
Not a big Zane fan. His physique never really did it for me, and i found his posing rather average. Bob Paris could outpose him anyday, as could samir and many others. I think Zanes reputation precedes him.Quote:

i know what you mean. the guys that we idolise it seem like maybe one day we could be one of them. i think they looked so much better back in the good old daysQuote:
